Queensland’s coldest town has unveiled the big thermometer as its newest tourist attraction, with the 10-metre high structure switching on in Stanthorpe.
Josh Cavallaro, a board member on the Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce, said there are talks ongoing with the weather bureau to use the thermometer as the official temperature of Stanthorpe, as temperatures are currently recorded at nearby Applethorpe.
The big thermometer becomes the latest addition to the 150 ‘big things’ located across the country.
